Some people who are aware of the Weber Genesis series of grills may wonder what the main difference is between the GENESIS E310 and the GENESIS E320 might be. In short, the main difference is that the Genesis E320 has the side burner, and the E310 does not.

The "pros" of the Weber Genesis E320 have been detailed, so perhaps we should list the "cons". Actually, there are very few. And those are purely a matter of opinion.

"CONS" OF THE WEBER GENESIS E320

Indeed there are less costly grills on the market, so price could be considered an issue. BUT, FOR THE COST, YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER GRILL ON THE MARKET TODAY. So, consider your priorities and you will probably find that cost is not a "con" at all. Somewhat limited cooking space. There are grills with more space, but they do not have the other positive features of this unit. Again, consider your priorities overall and cooking space may not be an issue either. Size and weight make it not as portable as other grills, but it is movable. Not much side room for plates. That is easily taken care of by placing a table nearby.

You can also add to the stylish appearance and convenient use of this grill by taking advantage of the accessories available for the unit.

All in all, we have done a lot of grilling over the years with various types and makes of grills and we really believe that the WEBER GENESIS E320 GRILL is the best buy for the money currently on the market.
